Anxiety Is Just Energy: Tools to Calm Your Relationship Anxiety


Listen Later

What if anxiety wasn’t the enemy, but a signal? In this powerful episode, Dr. Zoe talks with psychotherapist and transformational coach Bonnie Brindle about why anxiety is just energy—and how to channel it instead of being ruled by it. Bonnie shares her own story of living with intense anxiety, what finally helped her break free, and the surprising way your energy system could be sabotaging your calm.

You’ll walk away with practical, empowering tools to regulate your nervous system before hard conversations, build internal trust, and quiet your mind when your relationship feels uncertain.

We Talk About:

  • Why anxiety is just energy and how to move it through your body
  • Simple tools to calm anxiety before a difficult conversation
  • What to do when you don’t trust your partner—and how to separate truth from fear
  • The #1 mistake people make when trying to “fix” their anxiety
  • Bonnie’s personal journey of overcoming years of chronic anxiety
  • How to spot and disarm “crazymakers” in your life
  • Energy-based techniques that complement traditional therapy
